  3. Welcome to the Night trooper resource thread for CRL creation

    Agree with your observations on grime and gold in the cracks. I think that will indeed boil down to weathering and adding the grime.  It would be best or even easier to add the gold leaf first, then the grime over the top.

    Seems to be quite a few combos of 2 grey parts as thighs, bells helmet sections Bicep etc. due to the number of combos and for the sake of flexibility and or difference, it would be easier to have a series of images in the reference library separating all the different images of TK's and their combos. If we go that route, knowing there were 17-20 full TK's modified for the screen, will that make it easier or more complex.

     Definitely need more discussion on the best way forward with that, and am interested to hear more opinions and ideas.

    We haven't had a costume with this level of complexity, and so many seen on screen, having clear differences.

    20 possibilities feels like a lot to build into a CRL, and if it were a full army, would there be more combinations? 

    Builder's discretion and a list of seen on-screen grey parts is also different from what we have done before, but could look like an easy option.

    These troopers are definitely about a builders' creativity on multiple levels for finish.

    Suggestions for the additional finishes of the Night trooper.

    First draft only, this is open to more in depth descriptions, adjustments, and language refinement.

     

    Basic Lvl

    Light to medium weathering as per reference.

    Cracks may be painted on the surface of the armour with metallic gold paint.

     

    EI lvl

    Light to medium weathering as per reference.

    Cracks must be Dremelled / engraved into armour

    Cracks may be painted in metallic gold paint.

     

    Centurion lvl

    Light to medium weathering as per reference.

    Cracks must be Dremelled / engraved into armour

    Cracks must be filled in gold leaf, gold metallic paint is not permissible.

     

    Wraps

    Basic

    Red wraps/bandages may be of a similar look to references

     

    EI lvl2

    Red wraps/bandages must be Chiffon material, wrapped in layers and distressed with fraying edges as per references?????

     

    Centurion N/A

     

    Grey painted components.

    We need to decide on a close shade of grey, and defer to references on what parts can be painted, how many is too many grey painted parts on a single costume etc.

    After a quick search, it looks like I need an admin to remove the attached images from my account. Yep, a whole whopping 2 pics. I suffered a moment of cerebral flatulence and did a direct upload of the images, instead of linking them via image address.  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Hi Dan, I can remove those for you.

    Do you want them all gone, or only certain attachments?

    Can that member get in touch with me.  I'd like to help where I can to create the CRL...

     

    Hi Matt,

    It depends on what fashion you wish to assist with the CRL.

    The build, really depends on the member/s building.

     

    The descriptions we have a section dedicated to this character, it is an open forum for members to participate in working with us on any/all CRL's.

    Descriptive text on the various costume parts follows a basic pattern, which makes sense if you read through our CRL's.

    We try to make the type of language similar where possible.

    This costume is quite detailed, so the explanation in each part needs to be both that and as easy to follow as possible.

     

    The photography for all the pieces for the CRL, again depends on the member/s making again.

     

    Ultimately, we hope if the person building the costume sees your post here, they would reach out to you if they were interested in assistance. :)

    Check in with your GML as they can see your affiliation with the detachment.

    If you are not checking into the forums at least once every census year, your status can be disconnected (affiliation lost) this is part of remaining a member of all detachments.

    We are also on the Legion web platform, so you need to make sure you are checking in.

    i suggest you may have lost your affiliation due to this reason.
